Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Oooh, thanks for all the recs!!!

beyond this...what kinds of things do you need or are into? I have a lot of apps.

Games are great, and the nutrition and weather recs will definitely come in handy, as will the iBattery one.

I bought the iPod because my old cheapo mp3 player just frustrated me (I didn't like the way it organized my music), and I wanted wifi access (tommyrot used his gizmo to get us the address for the Goodman two weeks ago, and I thought, "I gotta get me one of those!"). The apps were just a big plus I didn't consider until later in the decision-making process.

I'm going to be reading through the online manual this afternoon to see what all I can do with the thing.

if you travel: tripit is an excellent app. I use their service (free). And I have an app that shows all the airport maps.

So, for MP4: "Final Media Player" "Free File Opener". There is also Real Player, but I consider Real Player more of a virus.

Other options? (I'm on Windows XP home patched up through all current patches)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Quick Time.

Our wings are not tired

I agree, Quick Time would be my choice.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Thirded. Although I'm not sure I consider RealPlayer a virus so much as a biblical plague.

Dust off and nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

Um, so I came home to Devi sitting on my ipod. It now reads Accessorize Test Please plug fw LCD ID: 4 FWPWR:0

HALP?

OK, nevermind, I FINALLY managed to reboot it (I'd not been patient enough.) How the FUCK did she do that?

First five minutes of House of Dark Shadows watched. I know what I've watching next time I travel by plane or train. Thanks!
